SAN GIL

Dear friend
SANTANDER

How have you been? I'm fine. I am writing to you from San Gil, designated the tourist capital of
Santander in Colombia. I am in love with this town, I recommend it! San Gil has a portfolio of
quite extreme activities ranging from boating, paragliding, torrentism and bungee jumping;
However, if you do not like adrenaline, you can take bike rides, horseback riding or walks to
different places, such as the famous "El Gallineral Park" that dazzles with its trees adorned
with moss or visit some of the viewpoints and watch the sunset. On the other hand, if you like
nature and enjoy beautiful landscapes, you must visit "Chicamocha National Park", which is a
very beautiful place dedicated to ecotourism. There you can also find different quite amazing
attractions such as the cable car, flight cables, a farm and an ice rink. But, the main reason
why I recommend this tourist holiday destination is the typical food found here. San Gil is not
just "culona ants", here you can find a fairly wide gastronomic menu. I didn't particularly eat
"goat" because I found it visually unpleasant until I tried the famous "pepitoria" that are the
shredded goat's viscera and the "baked roasted goat", it really is quite delicious! You can also
find "el mute santandereano", "carne oreada", "la changua", and "arepa santandereana".

Everything is really delightful and makes you want to suck your fingers!

I hope you come to know this wonderful place soon, you will love it very much!
Kisses, Eliana.
